ment Of fish-culture in this country is 50
familiar to every one who has the slightest
interest in the subject it is unnecessary to
refer to it at length, except to show that
the improvement in the condition of ourfsh.

getc manner in which Prof. Baird. the
Commissioner Of Fish and Fisheries, has
managed the interests intrusted to his
charge. He is recognized by all nations as
"the first tish-culturist in the world" evi.

by the International Fisheries Exhibition
at Berlin IN 1SSO.
The principal activity Of tho commits

the wholesale replenishment of our de-
pleted waters, C9 the investigation of the
fisheries past and present. (3) the intro
duction and multiplication Of useful food
fishes throughout the country. These were
the main purposes for which the commits
sion was founded. The policy OF Prof.
Baird has been to carry out the idea that it
is better to expend small amount Of
public money in making fish so abundant
that they can be caught without restric-
ton, and serve as cheap food for people at
large, rather than to expend much larger
amount in preventing the people from
catching the few that still remain after
generations Of improvidence.
The commission has thus established

The Neck of Beauty.

Bracelets for the arms. and necklaces,
have been the adornment Of beauty in
all ages. They were originally intended
to attract the notice OF the beholders.
and draw attention to the round, full
threats and stately. swan-like necks of
the beauties of courts and royal pail
aces, and to the round, soft arms OF the
dlmpled beauties who wore soft raiment
and were in kings houses. Modern
taste has baDished these ornaments
from the street costume and the ordi.
nary home dress, and In their place
have come the soft lawns and clear
linens. Fashion has decreed that these
be worn In sets and in cOlors to match,
and the trade has exercised its utmost
ingenuity In fabricating new styles, ne "
cOlors and new combinations. Not only
so, the cost of producing these marvel
Gus effects Ia reduced year by year by
the appliances Of modern machinery
until what cost dollars a few years ago
can now be procured for almost as many
cents. The most exquisite cuts and
collars, for ladies, assorted colors and
sizes, are offered 10 sets of four-four col
lars and two pairs of cuffs-at the low
price of % cents per set. This fact, In
credible as IL may appear, can be veri-
fed by calling at WOlfson's and sam ping
the goods. Hundreds of ladies call there
every day out of mere curiosity and
find 1t exactly as stated. Four collars
and two pairs of cuffs for % cents. Mar

Boy Stranger.
Thomas Shortell, who drives ConIson's
milk wagon, was delivering milk on
Aoequia street last night, and whilst so
engaged lefE his team unattended, when
by some means they were afrrIghtened
and ran OF Of harum-scaTum pace. They
came down the street to West Com
merce street, turned the corner and went
by that street on TO the Military plaza.
In crossing the latter place there was
boy who was In danger Of being run
over. Fred Hayes, an English carpenter
and builder residing on Devine street,
was seated In his cart near by.
Seeing the boys danger he jumped from
the cart and snRtched the boy, but, too
late, for the mRddened team knocked
both down. and they sped on to the po-
lice headquarters, cOllided with Officer
Browns horse, knocking 1t down, and
ran with great violence against the wall
Of the bat cave. This stayed the team
and they were placed under control. In
the meantime bystRnders ran to the as
siBtanoe of Hayes and the boy, fearing
that something serious had happened.
The boy was daZed and scared and had
few flesh wounds, but did not appear
TO be materially injured. Hayes was I'M
conscious. He was taken TO Kalteyer's
drug store where he was cupped by
Bowski. Then he returned to con-
seriousness, and 1t was found that he had
a severe wound at the back OF the head
caused by the horses hoofs, and WAS Sc
verely bruised about the body. He was
conveyed to his home, and 1t Is feared
that he has sustained serious injuries,
but nothing definite can be said upon
this point at the present time.

On Monday, near midnight, Henry

Sent Home.

1t will be remembered that an old man
Damed Murphy, halling from Kansas,
arrived here some time ago, and after
expanding all his means, fell exhausted
from the want Of food and rest in the
Young Mems Christian association
rooms. He got work, but was too old to
do it, and was again in a state of desti-
tuition. He said If he could only get
home friends would care for him. Capt.
n. Mackey heard Of the case, and with
his usual good heartedness, he raised
enough money to buy him ticket and
put So in the old mans pocket. The
poor old man went home yesterday.
This ia the same man who was once
wealthy, but who was bankrUpted by
the rascality of his daughters husband,
under circumstances already detailed In
the LIGHT.
To his credit be 1t said, Capt. Mackey
had the old man at his ranch for four
months and supported him. When he
came forward to assist him he did not
know 1t was the same man, who could
have had further assistance II he had
asked it, but he was too modest to do

done much for him.
Two wealthy bankers were asked to

IS THIS TRUEP
Was DR.. Rutherford's Escapade Here the
Result of an Adverse Con-
spiracY?

spiracyP
For some time there have been rumors
that the drunkenness OF DR.. Rutherford,
the state health officer, which led to his
trouble here, was the result OF con-
spiraCy against him. The following
statement was made by friend OF the
doctors and may be taken for what 1t is
worth:
"Dr. Rutherford came to San Antonio
for the purpose OF srresting Mr.. Lamb
kin, sOn-in-law OF DR.. Cupples, for max
ing an affidavit that he had not been In
yellow fever infected district for 40 days,
when as a matter OF fact the gentleman
was then on his way from Central Amer
lea. Upon this affidavit Mr.. LamDkIn
passed Mr.. Frank Bates, quarantine off,
Ger at Orange, thereby risking bringing
most contagious mAlady into the
state. Mr.. Lsmbkin had Travelled
under the names Rice, johnson and
Blankenship on his way home, and as
soon as the health officer learned the
true state OF affairs he deemed it his
duty to ObViate repetition OF this Of
fence against the law by making an eX-
ample OF Mr.. Lambkin. Arriving in San
Antonio for the purpose OF making the
arrest, DR.. Rutherford was incautious
enough to disclose the object OF his visit
to Dr. Cupples, who, while inviting him
TO drink, had taken occasion to twit him
upon what DR.. Cupples was pleased to
term the inefilcaoy Of his quarantine reg
ulstiOns, stating that he himself knew
of man who had just passed through
the lines from an injected district. Pro-
ducing the affidavit and showing him
the signature, DIR. Rutherford asked II
that was not the man and added that
he was here for the purpose of
taking him into custody. DIR. Cupples
retOrted that in order to get him he
(RutherfOrd) would "haVe to get blood"
or words TO this effect. In the presence
of the health officer DR.. Cupples wrote
and dispatched note admonishing
Lambkin to get out of town without
delay. The fact that DR.. Rutherford
became involved in personal difficulty
Is deplored, but this would not have
occurred had he not been deserted by
Drs. Cupples and Kingsly. A concerted
and systematic effort was made from
the start by Mr.. Lampkins' friends to
defeat DR.. Rutherford's purpose In TAX
ing him, and it Is but, fair to state that
much OF the trouble In which the doctor
became involved was the result OF a
feeling engendered by devotion to

fear it would fall. Had II not been for
